David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Sorry, Generative LLM, if you can call it that, is abuse of the technology, which in the end just rehashes existing content.
It is a product that takes cities worth of power and lakes full of water to produce, and then steals art from others. It is unethical.

Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Look at any US news article about cyclists killed by cars. Unless it's on a cycling forum you'll invariably find many, if not most, comments are disparaging those who were killed or cyclists in general. It's culturally acceptable to wish for the deaths of people who cause traffic inconvenience.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
